For security purposes, we ask that you do NOT e-mail us your credit card number!

The credit card industry has taken fraud very seriously and suggests that card numbers are entered electronically over a safe and secure website . Accepting card data over the phone is frowned upon and although permitted, it is not considered ideal protocol or secure. Accepting card data over the phone exposes www.justawardmedals.com to additional liabilities and increases our responsibilities in the forms of security checks and requirements. For this reason, we may ask that once your phone order is placed, you will have to sign in to your account and enter your credit card information yourself.

We are not set up to receive electronic checks.

PREPAID GIFT CARDS
Prepaid gift cards must be registered if you wish to use it for online or telephone purchases. Online and telephone purchases often require that the "billing address" for your purchase match the address on file for your gift card.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS:
The common practice of Authorization Hold occurs within the banking industry. This occurs when authorizing electronic transactions on debit/credit cards and holding the balance as unavailable or "pending" until the merchant clears the transaction ( makes a claim/finalizes the purchase), or the hold "falls off" (funds are not claimed). These Authorization holds can fall off or be released (allowing the balance to be available again) anywhere from 1-5 days after the transaction date depending on the bank's policy. This is not controlled by JustAwardMedals.com. Questions regarding this should be sent to your issuing bank.
